Ark Heroine Development Plan

Chen sneered, "And you don't even know... Haha, who is in charge of investigating this case? What exactly did they investigate? And how much did they tell you? Xing, Xiong, Chief!"

Xingxiong fell silent, and Chen's series of counterattacks seemed to be very effective.

...it seems.

"I see."

The woman's expression suddenly relaxed. She glanced at Chen and then looked away, not looking at her again.

"You felt the bureau hadn't done anything, so you were even more convinced there was something wrong with the factory."

Chen asked in return: "Is there something wrong with this logic?"

"Why do you think it's okay?" Xingxiong twitched his lips. "Shouldn't normal logic be that the fact they didn't investigate means the bureau thinks there's nothing wrong with the factory, or that this is some deeper arrangement? Using your own assumptions to deny the Guards' decision and choice, is this what you call... normal logic?"

"you--"

"I know what you want to say, it's nothing more than questioning the spirit and being too submissive, but Officer Chen, I want to ask you-"

Xingxiong lowered his head and polished his nails: "How old are you this year?"

Chen's expression froze.

"At this age, I still think I'm the only one who's right. I think others can't think of what I think of, and if they think of it but don't do it, then they're bad. Isn't that a bit bad?"

She raised her head, looked at Chen again, and said softly:

"I don't think you're such a naive person. If that's the case... then there are only two reasons, Officer Chen."

"First, you genuinely didn't consider your colleagues in the Guard Bureau as colleagues. You didn't trust their decisions, their plans, or their actions. So when the Bureau didn't take action, you concluded it was a problem within the Bureau, rather than considering whether they had deeper intentions."

"The second reason, haha... you should know what it is better than me. I think this is the real reason."

Xingxiong, who had unknowingly walked in front of Chen, looked down at her and said:

"When did you become so arrogant?"

It's not that he doesn't trust his colleagues in the Guard Bureau or their decisions, but he believes that his own ideas and thoughts...are superior to the plans and conclusions discussed by these think tanks.

Chen, who was being stared down at by Xingxiong, was stiff all over, his lips moved slightly, but no sound came out.

Xingxiong brushed past Chen and said calmly, "I don't mind your arrogance and delusions, but you have to know that I won't be by your side all the time, nor will I remind you every time. If you don't face reality now, then the next blow from reality will not be as gentle as mine.

"Now, go do your job, Officer Chen, and don't disturb others. Also, if you want to continue your detective game, please make some personal time for yourself. Thank you."

The factory gate slowly opened, and Shinoda walked out quickly, bowing deeply to Xingxiong: "Excuse me, Miss Xingxiong, please come in."

Chen turned her head to look. She remembered the woman's posture and expression when facing her. She was well-mannered and polite - but in fact, she didn't even see her in her eyes. To her, she was just a passerby who was about to be sent away.

But Xingxiong... Xingxiong is different. This woman's respect and humility towards Xingxiong come from the heart.

If Chen Huijie didn't have the identity of Inspector of the Guard Bureau, this woman would not even pay attention to her; and even if Xingxiong lost this identity, her popularity would not be reduced in the slightest.

"Leave this to me. I don't want to repeat what I just said, Officer Chen."

Xingxiong glanced at Chen and casually threw the car keys to him:

"The subway is not very crowded either, so please don't let it break down."

After saying that, she walked in without looking back.

The factory gate slowly closed, and Chen stood outside, holding the key tightly without saying a word.

Bang!

Chen smashed the key into the wall next to him with an expressionless face and turned to leave.

……

In the office, Xingxiong held the bill with his eyes slightly narrowed.

"This doesn't seem like an identity someone from the Armed Assault Unit could forge..."

Shinoda sat opposite Hoshiguma, not knowing what to say. It seemed that the matter was resolved. Although the young girl did not show any obvious emotions, her aura of a loser was obvious. Such a girl naturally could not be a match for Hoshiguma. Shinoda was very clear about this.

"So, this is the information Officer Chen Huijie wants to obtain?"

"Yes, her idea is right... very right." Xingxiong looked at the identity that the woman forged to buy a large amount of explosives from here, suddenly shook his head, sighed, and put down the bill.

"But the timing is wrong. I shouldn't have come. The clues are bound to be lost."

Shinoda's expression tightened. Naturally, she quickly figured out the problem. "The Imperial Guard Bureau has been ignoring this because this clue can be used at any time. But if I were investigated, they would definitely remember this issue and cut off all traces as quickly as possible."

"Because your company's development direction is completely different from that of normal weapons, it's basically impossible for them to know that your products are so easy to detect. It's difficult for the planners to take this aspect into consideration."

"The fact that you've been keeping Xiao Chen under your wing proves that the bureau hasn't been investigating you. This way, the people behind the scenes will miss a move in their game."

Xingxiong rubbed his brows and said, "The problem is me."

If she hadn't acted impulsively, this balance could have been maintained for at least a while.

"No, no, no—" Shinoda said in a panic, "If I hadn't said too much, things wouldn't be like this. This is not your fault."

"Don't force yourself to take on this kind of thing." Xingxiong smiled helplessly. "I won't blame myself too much. Since I've done it, I'll try to use this clue to find out something... Wait a minute."

Xingxiong's expression changed. She stopped the current topic and suddenly said:

"Can you prepare a quiet room for me? I want to rest first."

Shinoda didn't ask any questions and immediately stood up: "Anytime, please follow me."

Hoshiguma, who was following behind Shinoda, lowered his head slightly, with his long green hair hanging down on both sides, making it impossible to see his expression.

Chapter 162 - Wine

Guan Yueli's work is not yet finished, although she seems to be just hanging out in the store of her own people.

"Speaking of which, what are you going to do next with those girls?"

Nian, who was sitting on the sofa, crossed his legs, bent down, picked up the wine glass on the coffee table and placed it in front of his eyes, staring at Guan Yueli through the crystal wine.

"Haha... which ones?"

The woman sitting across from her put down her wine bottle and exhaled with relief: "Penguin Logistics?"

"This is probably the only girl you're targeting." Nian swirled his wine glass. "Could there be others?"

"Them... Come to think of it, Little Texas should be back soon."

Guan Yueli touched his chin and said, "I don't know how long that penguin can last..."

She muttered softly for a while, then waved her hand and replied casually: "It's okay, don't worry about it, just let it be."

Then he grabbed a new bottle of wine, bit off the cap and started drinking.

Nian held his chin with both hands and looked at Guan Yueli speechlessly: "You still haven't changed your old habit of not caring about anything when you're drunk."

"It's not a problem." Guan Yueli wiped his mouth and handed the wine to Nian with a smile, "Drink it! Now that you're here."

"No."

Nian pushed the bottle away in disgust: "This color... is your favorite flavor, right? I can't drink it."

Guan Yueli raised an eyebrow: "Have you ever drunk it?"

"Have you forgotten?" Nian's eyes widened, "You and your bunch of lawless little brothers forced me to drink."

Recalling that taste, Nian shuddered and revealed a very disgusted expression:

"How on earth did you manage to drink that wine that looked like it had been buried in the ground for three hundred years?"

"But I remember you like to drink Laojiao."

Nian rolled his eyes: "Three hundred years old is not called an old cellar, it's called an antique!"

"That's a lot of requests." Guan Yueli curled her lips and put the bottle to her mouth again.

But the movement stopped at this moment.

"So this kind of thing happened before." She said softly, then laughed, "How long ago was that?"

"Hmm... who still remembers this? It must have happened hundreds of years ago."

Nian raised his eyes to look at Guan Yueli, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Why, you become sentimental after drinking too much."

"That's it?"

Guan Yueli looked at the overflowing empty bottles on the table with disdain: "Is this considered drinking too much? You really underestimate me, Xiao Nian Nian."

As soon as he finished speaking, two men in suits came out of the living room holding two boxes of wine, put them on the coffee table, saluted Guan Yueli, and then turned and left.

Nian glanced at her twice and clicked his tongue: "You drank so much, where did it go?" As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Guan Yueli's legs.

"Burp~ Beautiful women can't go to the toilet." Guan Yueli burped, lay down lazily, picked up the bottle with his toes and threw it into his hand, and continued to drink leisurely.

Nian thought about it, got up from the sofa, moved Guan Yueli's head away while she was screaming, sat down, and then put her head on his lap.

"What?" Guan Yueli shook the bottle in dissatisfaction: "If you want a knee pillow, just tell me first. I just poured a lot of wine."

"Drink yours." Nian tapped her forehead and started playing with Guan Yueli's hair and the jade corners on her forehead.

She stroked the uneven cross-section of a broken horn and asked in a low voice:

"Does it hurt?"

"What hurts?" The woman replied lazily, her hands spread out over the sofa. "There's no nerves in the corners, so how can it hurt?"

Nian just gently stroked the horn without saying anything.

Guan Yueli half opened her eyes and teased, "Just now you said I was sentimental. You haven't even had a drink yet, but you're even more sentimental than me."

"Why do you care about me?" Nian pinched Guan Yueli's cheek, "If you don't want to, then I'll leave?"

"What are you doing——"

Guan Yueli raised his hand and pinched Nian's chin: "Why are you so anxious? Were you serious just now?"

"You guess for yourself." Nian snorted at first, then couldn't help laughing, "No, no, this kind of role doesn't suit me."

She sighed and held Guan Yueli's hand, holding it for a long time. Then she smiled and said, "It really can't be done without me, right?"

"Of course not."

The scumbag woman said something extremely scumbag as if it was a matter of course: "The one who is more suitable is just not with me right now, so I have to reluctantly use the more suitable Xiaonian... It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

Nian grabbed Guan Yueli's cheeks with both hands, smiling sweetly and gently:

"Ms. Guanyue Li, you still have one chance to reorganize your words."

Guan Yueli threw the bottle around in pain and immediately said, "I'll tell you again, I'll tell you again."

She cleared her throat and answered in a serious tone:

"I'm not trying to use a more suitable Xiao Nian Nian reluctantly, I'm using a completely unsuitable Xiao Nian Nian. Wow! Don't touch my wine!"

Nian pushed the bouncing Guan Yueli back onto his thigh, handed the bottle back, and said unhappily, "I'll drink you to death."

Guan Yueli, who was holding a bottle of wine, laughed heartily: "I said that too."

"You can still say this to others?"

"He's the one who started me drinking." Guan Yueli swung the bottle of wine, "What's so strange about that?"

"Who?"

"Ah Jiu." The woman casually tossed the bottle to the ground. "This company is one of the few legitimate ones among those monsters and demons. Hahahahaha, who would have thought that the descendant of that evil ghost would actually do business with others in a suit and tie?"

Just as she finished saying this, a middle-aged man with decent clothes and good looks came towards them in a hurry, stopped three meters away from the sofa, and bowed.

"I'm so sorry, Master Guanyue! There was a meeting at the company, and I couldn't come to entertain you right away. Please forgive me!"

"Alright, alright." Guan Yueli waved his hand lazily. "As long as I can drink the wine, the rest doesn't matter."

"He is..." Nian looked at the middle-aged man with a strange expression, "Is he the descendant of Shuten-doji?"

"Just one of them."

Guan Yueli yawned. "That guy left seeds everywhere. Who knows how many descendants he has? Xiao Huang inherited a relatively thin ghost blood, so there's no need to worry too much. At least when it comes to making wine, he's much more successful than his ancestors."

"Lord Guanyue, thank you for your kind words!" Huang Yangjie immediately lowered his head.

"Ah... really." Guan Yueli grumbled dissatisfiedly, "Whatever, is there anything you need from me this time?"

There is nothing awkward about this behavior of taking the initiative.

"No..." Arakawa Yosuke, who had been bowing the entire time, answered subconsciously. However, after secretly looking up at Guan Yueli, he immediately changed his words and said, "Yes, I... have a request."
